The 31st Consort Vol 2-3
I really like the 31st Consort. The conceit is having a queen who stands as an equal no matter what, changing the patriarchal idea of demure women who only fight socially. She’s forced to live within this construct but still manages despite her headstrong nature. The romance is cute, but the political infighting is what…

The Apothecary Diaries Season 2
As per usual, I LOVE Apothecary Diaries. Maomao is the aroace KING we all deserve. I love that Jinshi is 100% a doting husband on her autistic ass. The mysteries up the stakes and Maomao gets involved in a national fucking incident while just doing her thing. In between the beginning and National Fucking Incident,…

M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Nat 20s
The characters are succeeding in wildly amazing ways. This often is preceded by the audience holding their breath and followed by cheering from everyone.
Welcome to the Menagerie.
Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.
What is M?
I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
